Model Release

Why do I need to complete a model release form if all my footage has no people or buildings in it?

Hey Bucky23,

Thanks for writing in. I believe this feedback was a mistake for most of your files. Some, like132328198, do have people in them. I'm sending a message to the curators to be sure, however.

The likely reason they were not accepted is because none of your files have proper metadata. Please fill out a full title with descriptive words that are most relevant for them to show up in searches. The title is the most important piece of metadata when it comes to being found in searches, so make it thorough and relevant.

After that, please fill out a description that gives a little more information about the clip that could help buyers make a decision on purchasing the clip. As far as keywords, 20-30 relevant kewyords is the number we recommend for optimal search placement. Right now all of your clips have 6 keywords, so please add as many as you can to give your clips a chance to show up in searches!

Hello. I submitted a video for review, but forgot to add a model release. How can I add a model release to a video I’ve already submitted for review?
